Quantum Listenings -- Amateur Sonification of Vacuum and other Noises
Carsten Henkel

TL;DR
This paper explores the sonification of quantum-scale phenomena, providing auditory representations of otherwise inaccessible scientific data, highlighting fractal complexity and connections to music.
Contribution
It introduces a novel approach to sonify quantum phenomena, bridging scientific data with auditory perception and artistic expression.
Findings
Auditory renderings reveal fractal complexity in quantum data.
Comparison between visual and auditory representations shows meaningful connections.
Samples demonstrate potential for scientific and artistic exploration of quantum systems.
Abstract
The sensory perceptions of vision and sound may be considered as complementary doorways towards interpreting and understanding physical phenomena. We provide a few selected samples where scientific data of systems usually not directly accessible to humans may be listened to. The examples are chosen close to the regime where quantum mechanics is applicable. Visual and auditory renderings are compared with some connections to music, illustrating in particular a kind of fractal complexity along the time axis.
